Today feels like Monday, but it’s not! Love the three day weekend! This morning Anna and I worked on stuff around the house. We did laundry and played with toys. Then we got to work on making dinner for our friends down the street. The plan for tonight was to make fritatta, but I thought mini muffin quiches might be more fun!

They were simple to make but have a lot of good nutrition! Protein from the eggs, calcium from the cheese and milk and nutrients from the broccoli. I made some hashbrown potatoes to go with them!

Don’t forget to look for online grocery coupons for many of the ingredients for mini-quiches.
